I hear you!
You are mistaken about me!

People cannot agree about everything! Must we?

shadeyinka:
All these arguments came about because I said that :

All atheists should naturally gravitate toward Nihilism

budaatum:
I am very sorry that I stopped right there. I was an atheist from birth and my life had meaning so I can't say I shared your opinion that atheists arrive at the conclussion you arrived at!

As a humanist alone, your life ought to have plenty of meaning unless you have not got a clue what humanism is about. I mean, do you not know humanism means "Love humans", and what greater purpose can a human being have than the expression of love for their fellow human being so you get up daily with the sole purpose of diminishing the sufferings of your fellow humans?

Now, let me patiently go and read the rest of what you wrote to find out if you were only an atheist to the Bible, as in one who rightfully disbelieved it, but unfortunately failed to seek understanding of what is written therein.

shadeyinka:
It's impossible to convince you.

The experience is Taylor made and subjective.

Minimum wage should probably be left up to the states tbh.
"Red state" Florida voted to approve $15 per hour. The truth of the matter is minimum wage can't remain the same while inflation keeps rising year after year.
What is the point of calling it "minimum" if it's barely enough for one to start off??

PrideofLincoln1:
Like I said Buddy, those so called economic experts have their own agenda. $10 an hour is nothing to live on in most Cities of America with the inflation level. There are few establishments and companies paying $15 an hour already and their side effects of paying that is minimal at best. I live in Chicagoland and I can tell you that a single guy or lady without a spouse and a child can't survive in Chicagoland on $15 an hour considering the rent, utilities and feeding alone not to talk of other things the person will need. About the immigration, there's a way these stuff will solve itself out knowing that the RepubliKKKans shouting about immigration got their lineage from Europe. When the so called Republikkkans shouting about BROWNING of America, what should the American Indians who owns the land talk about after the early settlers wiped several millions of them out during the pogrom. America strength lies in her diversity and don't fall for the navitivy call of stopping immigration. I do not support illegal immigration but the ones that have legitimate claim of persecution should be provided an Avenue of being interviewed and processed. Diversity is a plus for America.

HellVictorinho:
Who will represent the party during the presidential/governorship elections?

HellVictorinho:
The increase or decrease has no purpose.

HellVictorinho:
You need rich people in the party.

HellVictorinho:
The increase or decrease happens as several activities are carried out by different species.
But the increase or decrease remains without a purpose.

shadeyinka:
Aren't you doing exactly the same thing you accuse me of against LordReed?

You get too confrontational sir. You can disagree with me or even despise my speech but not nice to put a label on me.

HellVictorinho:
We need to know Seun's plans.

HellVictorinho:
There is no reason why there is an increase or decrease in the population of several species.

These foreign extremist religions are the worst ideologies ever to set foot on African soil.

budaatum:
You really need to stop arguing with yourself. No one is claiming the Bible is history. It is mythology. Go look up the meaning and learn. Neither is anyone conquering you with it. You can read it to oppress yourself if you want to or understand it and free yourself, the choice is yours, after all, you must have heard the adage "know your enemy".

I can't understand how you would read it and become a slave unless you do not really understand what you read. Perhaps you need to be honest with us Amu and confess you never bothered reading it becaise you are afraid it will enslave you. Or perhaps you are the ignorant one here who does not understand that mythology is not history.

That said, the Bible starts off with a story of a tribe freeing themselves from slavery. Adam and Eve were slaves in the Garden of Eden and freed themselves from slavery by acquiring knowledge. It continues with another story about Moses freeing the Israelites from slavery. And it contains stories about a man called Jesus who taught people to free themselves from the slavery of ignorance, a lesson you would most definitely benefit from since you seem to be enslaved by your ignorant understanding.

"Love your neighbours" is not "malicious tools of foreign extremist ideologies", but a lesson taught in most decent societies. You should try it and see how better the world around you would become instead of constantly spewing the vitriol and hatred that seems to consume you. You'd be being the change you want to see if you do try loving those around you.

HellVictorinho:
My position that life has no purpose is not Nihilism.
In other words,when I say life, I am referring to the events that happen towards an increase or decrease in the population of several species.

LordReed:
You don't get to be in my head and define me. I am the one to tell you what I think and to define myself to you. If you persist in trying to tell me what I think then we can end the conversation. I do not discuss with people who do that.

No wonder you float as the dead (ghost) for it is see and known that man is made to Stand on the Ground of the earth and not in the air as a ghost.

Hence it is said "he who stands for nothing, is a ghost and he is dead".

And if he is dead, therefore he has no Life!

And if he has no Life, therefore he can not give Life, for it is The Law "A person can only give that which he has*

Thus, the dead can only give and must give death only!

THE DISSOCIATIVE MIND LEARNS LESSONS WITHOUT LEARNING FROM THEM: THE STORY OF EVE IS A CAUTIONARY TALE- YET YOU FAILED TO BE CAUTIONED.

1. EVE WAS OFFERED A SHORTCUT
TO ACQUIRING THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, AND TOOK IT, DESPITE BEING FOREWARNED OF THE ULTIMATE CONSEQUENCE, NAMELY, DEATH.

oaroloye:
I LEFT ORGANIZED CHRISTIANITY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK, BEING BELIEF-BASED WITHOUT RESULTS.

Having changed my Beliefs, would I not have different EXPERIENCES?

I LEFT ORGANIZED RELIGION BY TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY SITUATION: THE FAILURES OF CHRISTIAN RELIGION ARE DUE TO CONFORMITY WITH FALSE BELIEFS ACCEPTED BY THE MAJORITY AS "THE TRUE DOCTRINE."

oaroloye:
I KNOW VERY LITTLE OF THE BUDDHAS, BUT I AM CERTAIN THAT NONE OF THEM COULD HAVE POSSIBLY SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT!

BUDDHISM is based on intuitive learning that supersedes logic: ENLIGHTENMENT.

Can you give the Chapter-and-Verse source of that alleged quotation?

Searching for the source immediately turns up that it is a fake quotation.
